Controversies

The Gothamist wrote "The company also publishes a promotional "newspaper" for Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, full of glowing stories about the borough president," sourcing it to a Schneps competitor, The New York Daily News.[5][7] Gothamist also claimed, regarding Schneps reporters, that "the Schneps owners forced them to write sponsored content, while shielding advertisers and local officials from critical coverage."
